Hello friends! Legendary photographer, album designer and art director, Ed Caraeff is my guest for episode 1211! His work has been on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, he shot and or designed over a hundred album covers starting with "Incense And Peppermints" for The Strawberry Alarm Clock and ending with "Private Eyes" for Hall & Oates". His photo of Jimi Hendrix and his burning Stratocaster at the Monterey Pop Festival hangs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Modern Rocks Gallery (916 Springdale Rd) here in Austin is hosting Ed's first solo art show and it opens this Thursday, October 6th with a reception that night from 7-10 pm where you can meet the artist, see his amazing photos of your rock idols and more. Go to modernrocksgallery.com for more info on the show. Ed and I have an amazing conversation about shooting Jimi Hendrix at Monterey Pop Fest at 17, shooting, designing and turning in Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" in 24 hours, shooting Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica", leaving show business to become a chef, traveling the U.S. in V.W. van and much more. I had a great time getting to know Ed. I'm sure you will too. Follow Ed on Instagram
